30 minutes from svet to berezino? You run 15mph and it's like 2 clicks away...
-
Just loot all of the NE towns. Lots of loot and lots of action. No server hopping necessary, more practice traveling undetected, less time watching loading screens. This community blows my mind
-
Is it more frustrating when you die after server hopping for gear or when you die after ground pounding to gear up?
-
I see what you're saying honzo, but isn't that only one side of the same coin? Weapons could also spawn missing crucial parts as well? Or badly damaged/ruined parts? Imagine having to choose between a worn, vanilla M4 vs a damaged/badly damaged m4 with all of the goodies on it. I think forcing players to make tough decisions while looting is good gameplay.
-
Umm.... I was just mentioning that more guns will hopefully be added to the game so that the M4 isn't the only modular weapon to customize. You didn't even read my most you just posted the same "you're not allowed to mention that the game is in alpha rawr omfg" comment. But I do agree that the attachment system, as it is currently implemented, makes switching between attachments far too easy. Requiring a rare, specialized toolkit for changing parts on firearms would be a nice change IMO
-
It's alpha. I'm sure there will be plenty of variety once the game releases. On another note, I think it would be interesting for M4s to spawn with random attachments instead of always being the stock weapon. That would give some variety in what you pick up. The same could apply to the Mosin, sks, and akm as well.

Tradeing for Beige Cargo Pants will trade you anything
Dagwood replied to Dieseld456's topic in General Discussion
I have a pair. I'll trade it for an antistab vest. -
If Abe Lincoln had taken the "look the other way approach", slavery never would have been ablolished in America and the union would have split. "But we like exploiting our free labor!" Just because you like it, doesn't make it right.

Gotta love that .357 Well done

How important should vehicles Be in the SA?
Dagwood replied to xalienax's topic in General Discussion
How do zombies fare against helicopters though? Unless zombies swarm after them from miles around, I think helicopters cheapen the whole experience and encourage even more militaristic behavior; something dayz is not short of. -
How important should vehicles Be in the SA?
Dagwood replied to xalienax's topic in General Discussion
Sovetsky, how will you use your vehicle if you're server hopping through 10-50 servers to find the parts you need? Vehicles will be locked to individual servers -
Not enough diversity in where stuff spawns? Please elaborate.

Dayz aftermath
-
So he server hopped AND was too embarrassed to admit it? I thought everybody was doing it. Ohhhh it's like masturbating! You do it, but you wish you were man enough to fuck a girl. And when you finish, you're ashamed of your weakness to your bodily desires, so you lie about it to the kids at school. I <3 server hopping shame

Time to fix night time once and for all! (with pool)
Dagwood replied to MLCA's topic in General Discussion
As far as players exploiting gamma externally: arma3 implemented a mechanic/feature that would blend objects in shadows with the background even if gamma and brightness are tampered with. They'll get it done. -
Pristine. Did you include the "because of teleporter" caveat because you were server hopping? Or do you care that much about being accused of it? I'm assuming it's one or the other.

How tactful are you, and what tactics work in DayZ SA?
Dagwood replied to comikz's topic in General Discussion
If you're playing 3rd person, the only guaranteed to work tactic is to stand behind solid cover, have someone else watching your back from begin equally solid cover, and periscope to discern the location of your targets/assailants. No need for suppressing fire. No need for well executed fire and maneuver... Maneuvers. Just don't be seen and wait. But why do I play tactically while playing on hardcore? I do it because, like others have said, seeing your enemy before they see you is 80% of the battle. Thinking and moving tactically gives you the best chance of survival. Probably why soldiers with their lives on the line don't pretend it isn't important. -
Haven't played any of the mods since SA released. Been considering returning to the mod as the alpha is beginning to feel.... bare at its current stage of development. While the SA has the foundations to outshine the mod, I think the mods available currently have more to offer. Can anyone with experience with "both" games give me some advice?
-
Have any of you tried dayz aftermath? That was the mod I was puttering around on when SA hit steam. It was the most fun I had in the year I was playing various mods. Modular, craftable weapons, base building, ability to break into bases (no more keys and such none sense. Sledgehammers) and an implemented prison and additional military/quarantine installations. Only problem is the small community that is left. We need more bodies!!!

Current Zombies are "placeholders". What will final zeds look/be like?
Dagwood replied to blazinone's topic in General Discussion
The fact that they've hired hunting sim developers is a great sign. Zombies should act like "wild" humans. Bipedal animals. Driven my perception and instinct. -
Loot, Supplies - They're just too common.
Dagwood replied to hannibaldaplaya's topic in General Discussion
This is a good thread and discussion. Please ignore qqw's trolling. If you don't respond to his attacks, he'll get bored and leave. -
Recently made the switch to the sks after surviving with an M4 for some time. If you have a patient trigger finger it can get the job done just as well as the M4. In addition, the larger caliber round makes body armor feel less overpowered (vests stuffed with helmets). Having an easy to find platform plus PU scope also increases your awareness of your surroundings a lot faster than if you try to do the same with an M4 and acog.
-
Stated that pvp is only thing to do? Pvp forced upon us? "I no resist fuck jane. Why you force sex on me, god? Rape!" Get better at the game and you'll learn that you can play however you choose.
-
If everyone was constantly dying from beefy zombies, starvation, dehydration AND other players, the development process would be slowed down even further than it already is because nobody would be TESTING THE PRODUCT THAT IS IN ALPHA STAGE OF PRODUCTION. There is your first grader one sentence response.

Standing at the entrance of an ATC yesterday after hearing frantic sks and M4 fire. I see a mountain pack and motorbike helmet crawling for the stairs. He hadn't responded to me when I hailed him from outside. When he began spinning around toward me, I let off a single round and I hit the floor dead before he was even perpindicular to me. At NEAF, always shoot first and ask later.
